Will Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Fit RadCity & RadCity Step Thru Bikes

Question

Question:

I believe this rack will fit my two-inch receivers hitch on my 2018 Ford Explorer Sport. I have two RadPower e-bikes — a RadCity and a RadCity Step Thru. I want to confirm that these bikes will fit on this rack. It looks like the weight capacity is sufficient. These bikes are 64 pounds each. I want to make sure there are adequate places on the frames to secure the bikes. Thanks.

The answer is yes, absolutely - both your RadCity and RadCity Step Thru bikes are compatible with the EasyFold XT bike rack, which is the following part number:

- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202

This will fit your 2 inch hitch, and does have a 65 lb weight capacity per bike, which is enough for your RadCity bikes. It will also attach to the frames of both bikes, and is one of the most popular options for RadCity bikes, including the Step Thru frames. We have had numerous customers come back and tell us how well the EasyFold XT # TH903202 worked with their RadCity, and I have added a photo from a customer showing the RadCity Step Thru mounted on the rack.

Apart from your bikes being compatible, the EasyFold XT # TH903202 is a superb choice due to both its quality and plethora of convenience features, including a ramp which allows you to load up and remove your bikes with minimal effort. It also completely folds up and has wheels and a handle, so getting it from storage to your Explorer (and vice-versa) is a breeze. And installation in your hitch is also extremely simple as it tightens with just the twist of a knob.

So you've made a really smart choice here as there simply isn't a better option for a bike rack to carry your RadCity bikes than the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202.
